Student life

What my life looks like lately:
1. My desk pre & post-war!
2. Study material pt. 1
3. Homemade salad (tomato, mushroom, pine nuts & apple) and fresh fruit salad <3
4. Everything seems so interesting when you're studying, even your feet! And I'm wearing my All Stars btw, haven't worn them in years!
5. Study material pt. 2
6. More food porn: I love red fruits!
7. We've had amazing weather last week, so sunglasses and lots of water were required!
8. Homemade smoothies! Nomnomnom
9. Small reward for my hard labour (should I buy the shoes?? I love them!)
10. Hopefully all of this will help to get THIS into my head. Sigh.


Hope your weekend was more entertaining than mine!
PS: I'll probably do the weekly favourites post every other week as it seems a little much to do every week!

Study mode

I'm not really pleased with today's pictures. Sorry sis who did the effort of taking them, haha! I just don't like myself on them. Happens to everyone sometimes, no? Also, I had to crop most of the photos which resulted in slightly blurry pics :( Oh well, that's what exams do to a person: get their confidence down! Although I did like my headscarf today. When I'm studying, every single hair has to be pinned back, so instead of using the usual amount of bobby pins (about 20 or something) I pulled one of my vintage scarves out of the closet. I wanted something different than the last two times I wore it (here and here) so I created a sort of headband with a knot! Haha not that exciting but I tell ya, the most exciting part of my day is food or doing something creative with my hair :D or my nails:

Yeah, instead of studying I paint my nails every colour of the rainbow. Because I'm secretly a 10 year old.
Actually I created this combination with this outfit of Kerry from Yours Truly in mind:

Of course mine lacks the natural elegance of this pretty lady but as soon as I saw this dress in store I pictured it with a red-coloured turban! 

Wearing: Pull&Bear dress + shoes, vintage scarf, eBay ring

This is also the first time these shoes appear on the blog btw! I bought them in the January sales for about 15 euros because I was looking for a pair of mustard yellow heels. Turns out they're more of a dark yellow, slightly tan colour... Oh well, the search goes on! I'll just always regret not buying the yellow variant of my beloved green Zara heels :(


I should really go to bed now, getting up early tomorrow to catch up on my studying! Such fun :( I'm still wearing clothes these days, so you can expect more outfit posts soon! 

PS: My sister tried to steal my pose!

Haha she's so cute! (she hates it when I say that on my blog) I also really love her military style jacket, I actually picked it out for her, so that gives me the right to steal it from time to time, no?

Weekly Favourites #2

God, is this week already over? Hope these next two weeks won't pass so quickly, my first exam is coming way too close! I'm spending my days behind my desk, trying to memorize a LOT of Arabic translations. The amazing weather isn't helping either! But enough complaining, here are my favourite links of this week to help you through your study period or just to cheer you up. Enjoy!


This week I met up with Hannah for the first time and we immediately got along very well! I hope I see her again soon because I had a lovely time. Check out her report of the New Look press day here!


Audrey from Frassy walking around Paris in a tutu: no further explanation needed <3

This recipe from Annebeth (Styling Dutchman) made me drool! Definitely making this soon:

Found this picture via pinterest and fell in love immediately! Check out this girl's blog too, she writes in Danish but the photos speak for themselves.

Gorgeous 60s inspired photo shoot, from here:

Another lovely photo shoot, by Nicole of Gary Pepper Vintage:

And if you're  also spending your days studying, the best part of the day of your day is probably just FOOD! Here are 7 healthy desserts that will satisfy your sweet tooth!


Enjoy your weekend darlings!

New Look press day!

Yesterday I was invited to the New Look pressday in Brussels, where we could have a look at the Autumn/Winter collection 12-13. It felt a bit weird looking at those wool and leather coats and boots on a beautiful sunny day, but I have to say the collection was amazing! Normally when I go shopping at New Look, it's either a hit or miss: Some pieces really aren't my cup of tea. BUT this collection was different: I want everything! Have a look:

Hannah checking out the pretty dresses!

 Lots of studs and glitter this winter! Almost every pair of shoes is on my wishlist.

New Look has jumped on the wedge sneaker-wagon too! I still don't really like them, but some people can really get away with it.

Stole these photos from Hannah :)

Not only the shoes and accessoires have stolen my heart, but also this amazing location (Tenbosch House):

The best part of the day though was meeting other bloggers!

And food! So good <3

We actually stayed there for about 4 hours, socializing with Hannah, Anouk, Shanah, Laetitia and the lovely PR ladies from the New Look agency in London! 

Blogger friends! 
Thank you Tan-dem PR for this amazing oportunity! I had so much fun and I'm really looking forward to the arrival of this collection in stores. Although I'd like to enjoy the summer first too ;)

Weekly favourites #1

I spend way too much time on the internet, reading blogs and looking at pretty pictures (pinterest!), so I decided to introduce this (hopefully) weekly feature in which I'll share what I liked the past week.  Curious to this week's favourites? Here you go!

Have a lovely (and hopefully sunny) weekend!
